The struggle to understand why earthquakes happen in America’s heartland
Five hundred years between major earthquakes puts a lot of time before the next big one. But many experts say the region is still largely unprepared for even moderate shaking. Many parts of Alaska—which experiences large quakes more frequently—put in strict building codes after an earthquake devastated the state in 1964. Those building codes are thought to be why Anchorage survived a 7.0 earthquake in 2018 with only minimal damage and no deaths.

3 players who could be affected by the Cardinals drafting JJ Wetherholt
There were many varying reactions to the St. Louis Cardinals drafting JJ Wetherholt. The bulk of them were positive. Some fans were begging for a pitcher -- though there wasn't a viable one available anymore by the time St. Louis was on the clock.
